Description

In the year 2142 mankind is working on colonizing Mars. Vast settlements have been created to house miners looking for the big money by salvaging the valuable materials of the planet. Sadly there's not much else to do so crime is at an all time high and the citizens are bored. To that end a new form of entertainment was created: the Speed Forge.

Very similar to Wipeout, the player chooses one of the available high-speed hovercrafts and hits the futuristic closed racing-circuits in order to get first place against up to five AI-enemies. The player sees his craft from behind and steers/accelerates either by tilting his device or by using the on-screen-display. To spice things up, the hovercrafts are equipped with various weapon slots for which ammunition is scattered around the track. Ranging from machine gun fire over rockets to mines, the player has all the means to destroy his opponents or get destroyed himself. To prevent that from happening, power-ups like shields or repair-kits can also be collected by simply driving over them.

These drops also become important in the arena-mode where the driver with the most frags wins the match. During the course of the game the player unlocks up to 12 tracks, 6 distinct hovercrafts and additional weapons and power-ups.
